Thoughts? Kojima is basically taking up the "you lack context because you haven't played the game" defense. Since MGSV doesn't even have a release date, it's going to be a long wait! Can people wait? Will they wait? Should they wait?

I know there's people concerning about "Quiet" but don't worry. I created her character as an antithesis to the women characters appeared in the past fighting game who are excessively exposed. "Quiet" who doesn't have a word will be teased in the story as well. But once you recognize the secret reason for her exposure, you will feel ashamed of your words & deeds.
Theme of "MGSV" is "GENE"⇒"MEME"⇒"SCENE"⇒"PEACE"⇒"RACE". Story touches the misunderstanding, prejudice, hatred, conflict caused by the difference of language, race, custom, culture, and preference. The response of "Quiet" disclosure few days ago incited by the net is exactly what "MGSV" itself is.
「クワイエット」について危惧されている人もいるようですが、大丈夫です。彼女は昔の露出過度な格闘ゲーム系女性キャラへのアンチテーゼとして生んだものです。言葉を持たない彼女は、今回と同じ様に、物語の中で周囲から揶揄されます。しかし、その露出の秘密を知ると、その言動を恥じる事でしょう。
「MGSV」のテーマは「GENE」⇒「MEME」⇒「SCENE」⇒「PEACE」⇒「RACE」です。言語や民族、慣習、文化、嗜好の違いからくる誤解、差別、憎悪、紛争に触れます。今回の「クワイエット」公開に対する一部ネットでの扇動された反応は、まさに「MGSV」そのものといえます。
